+The currently selected text. In emacs terminology, this is referred to as
+the region and is bounded by the cursor (point) and the mark. The region

+is modified with tt(set-mark-command) or tt(exchange-point-and-mark).
+Note that whether or not the region is active has no effect on its

+highlighted. In vi mode, the region corresponds to selected text in
